What's Mine Is Yours
What's Mine Is Yours: The Rise of Collaborative Consumption | Rachel Botsman, Roo Rogers
1 post | 2 read | 3 to read
“Amidst a thousand tirades against the excesses and waste of consumer society, What’s Mine Is Yours offers us something genuinely new and invigorating: a way out.” —Steven Johnson, author of The Invention of Air and The Ghost Map A groundbreaking and original book, What’s Mine is Yours articulates for the first time the roots of "collaborative consumption," Rachel Botsman and Roo Roger's timely new coinage for the technology-based peer communities that are transforming the traditional landscape of business, consumerism, and the way we live. Readers captivated by Chris Anderson’s The Long Tail, Van Jones’ The Green Collar Economy or Malcolm Gladwell’s The Tipping Point will be wowed by this landmark contribution to the evolving ecology of commerce and sustainability.

Pickpick

The audiobook is beautifully executed and the text is so engaging. Makes me really think about how my choices, conscious and unconscious, have been influenced by all of the factors covered and how to proceed from here.
Critique: they don't acknowledge that in tiny, often poor rural towns, these collaborative techniques never halted after WWII. This is only 'new' to (sub)urban areas. Our town has managed it all with a call-in radio hour and gossip
